The Big Gainer of the week award this week goes to Agnieszka Radwanska. She was the 1st seed at the only tournament on this week, and she did her job and won it, defeating Petra Kvitova and Elina Svitolina in the later rounds. Her title gave Agnieszka 28 ELO rating points, and she gains 1 place in my rankings to #5. She'll move up to #4 provisionally next week as Victoria Azarenka's pregnancy means she will lose her place on my rankings until she returns.

This week's Upset player of the week is Timea Bacsinszky. She was the 7th seed, but she lost her 1st round match to a lucky loser. This loss cost Timea 14 ELO rating points, and she falls 3 places in my rankings to #15.

Other strong performers relative to their rankings are Johanna Larsson, and that's it.

Now, the full rankings.
